Verdict
Arabian Flight has done all of her winning at a lower level and was last of three in a seller when favourite last time. All Right Now won over course and distance at the start of the month but was a long way behind Arabian Flight here in December and was soon beaten off his new mark at Lingfield last time. Marcus Caesar and Rio Cobolo may need this so we'll take a chance on HARVEST MIST handling the Fibresand. She hasn't been beaten far in any of her last three runs on Polytrack and is due a change of luck.
